Youtube videos won't play on archos 7 - Archos 7 Digital Media Player

You can watch it with the help of Opera browser. Adobe haven't released flash 10 for mobile yet. But You CAN play videos on youtube. Go to the link, then click on something on the upper right corner of the video, which is "open in new window" . You will be able to watch the video.

As far as I know, the Archos 5/7 cannot play youtube HQ or youtube HD. Another way to say, it doesn't show "HD" or "HQ" for you to click on.

Also you can watch the youtube videos on http://www.youtube.com/xl

Have you Tried looking on google you youtube for files or a patch maybe?

You have to get the corresponding application, in example, YouTube Downloader - VideoBox, please check the link below:

Hello wilko1974, This has been an on going issue for Archos 5 users. The new youtube supports flash 10.1+ and the Archos 5 only supports 9. Unfortunately there does not seem to be a clear cut solution for this issue. Archos has not released a firmware update for this and with their new devices it there support for older devices has lowered. I have found that choosing the lower play button that appears over a video plays on Archos more often than the top button. I would recommend trying this and seeing if you get better results. Another possible solution is to open the video in a new window with the link on the top right of youtube video. This however is not on all youtube video pages and with the currently layout is on accessible when the video submitter enables it. It also help to have the latest firmware updates that can be done directly on your device. Hope this helps, Greg

I figured it out. (Or accidentally fixed it) First I reset the temp files

Main menu>System>Repair and Formating Tools> Clear temporary system files and cashe
This didn't erase any of my content... though I did lose my extra favorites links.

Then I happened to open the browser and check the settings there. I noticed that "flash content" was disabled. I fixed that, and it works. (As sad as it sounds, I don't think I needed to erase the temp files. But it works nonetheless.)

Are you trying to actually install flash 9, or just play youtube videos again? (The youtube problem was solved here: http://www.fixya.com/support/t436385-play_anything_youtube)
